One of a pair of stereoisomers that is the mirror image of the other, but may not be superimposed on this other stereoisomer. Almost always, a pair of enantiomers contain at least one chiral center, and a sample of either enantiomer will be optically active
One of a pair of chiral molecules Each enantiomer is the mirror image of the other
either one of a pair of compounds (crystals or molecules) that are mirror images on each other but are not identical
